Difficult Difficulty
A Poem about a Test
Ah, this difficult difficulty.
It leaves my chest in pain.
It leaves my mind in chains.
Nothing is clear to my confident self.
I have lost what was once my identity.
I am losing what I thought was my identity.
I am in a test and I know it.
He is testing me and I feel it.
His tests are a blessing, but this pain I feel is a curse.
This test has many blessings, but this journey is a curse.
He found me when I lay on the Earth’s crust.
He found me when I was most confident.
I was ready to take hold of my destiny.
I was ready to fight for it.
Yet my soul was not as strong as I thought.
Yet this soul was not strong at all.
For when the test came, this soul knew nothing at all.
I was leaving what was once cherished.
I was leaving what was once loved.
I had changed from my past.
I had changed my future.
You dropped me on the ground.
You must help me get back up.
Ah, this difficult difficulty.
It leaves our chest in pain.
It leaves our minds in chains.
This difficult difficulty.
